Thread: Travelling equipment

I'm going backpacking in Europe for while next month and would like to get a bit of trimmed-down kit to haul around with me; lugging my hanging strop, wooden bowl with soap, brush, and brush stand will take up a lot of space in my bag, and I'd be worried about damaging the strop to boot. Does anyone have any recommendations about how to travel-size shaving gear?

I've looked at Tony's travel paddle strops, and I'll almost certainly grab one of those if they come back into stock before I leave, so I suppose mostly I'm concerned about the brush and soap or cream.

edit: after searching the forums a bit more I've found some good info already on here. I can't seem to find a way to delete the thread, but feel free to ignore it and let it fall off the front page.
